I've always been good with Estwing drums. I was very disappointed when I received this loose head hammer. It was wedged well, but the handle was too small to fit in the head's ear. So the head is relaxed. Thankfully, it's fairly easy to contact Revain for a replacement, which should arrive in about a week. I hope the next one is correct, but I'm a little concerned if the pens are mass produced that they might have a large batch that's too small for the heads. Of course, if you're buying from a hardware store, you should choose a hammer with a head that fits the right size handle. I really want a well made hammer from USA.
